# I brought this home 3 weeks ago. As of today, there is a brand new…

_Posted by Erin on 2024-09-25_

I brought this home 3 weeks ago. As of today, there is a brand new leaf that seems to be really happy, but two of the original leaves are super sad. I have not repotted it — it came in the same pots as pictured. I placed it next to the window for good photo light, but since bringing it home it’s sat on a shelf ~ 10 feet away from a window.

Help! What am I doing wrong?

I would cut the brown leaves… the plant will focus on new growth. And more light for her or a grow light

update: seems much happier since relocating to the window sill and there’s a new leaf coming!
